about

I’m Marian Dougan and Words to good effect is my language and translation blog. But I’d like it to be more than a “translation blog”, “editing blog” or “web-writing blog”. I hope it will appeal to anyone who’s interested in language and all its glorious facets.

There are lots of great blogs on the web – my bookmarks list seems to get longer by the day – and it’s hard to find the time to read even just a small selection of our favourites. So I’ll try to keep posts here short and sweet – promise!

I love language – English in particular. Which is just as well, because I’m a translator (from Italian and French to English) and web editor – you can find out more at my website, DNA Language.

So Words to good effect is about a blog about translation, and about writing, web content, usability, accessibility, language, business and books.

And the other things I like will probably find their way into the blog too: music, art, fashion, architecture, design, typography. Even chocolate. And the list could go on…

You can contact me at: md at dnalanguage dot com. Or by leaving a comment, of course: blogging’s all about dialogue and communication, so the more comments the merrier.

If you’d link to write a guest contribution to this blog, please drop me a line to let me know.

Very nice blog, it shows your love for languages and professional attitude. I’ve just started my own blog and added yours to my blogroll! Looking forward to exchanging comments in English and Italian 🙂
